tumorous iUpartrarnt. Neighborly Amenities,?There had been serious differences between Mrs. Blobbs and Mrs. Dobbs, who were neighbors, owing to the formers' fowls trespassing upon the tatter's flower beds, while the fox terrier of Dobbs had, in retaliation, cut short the "span of life" of Mrs. Blobbs* favorite bantam. Words were strong and heated "over the garden wall," accompanied by smacking of hands and furious threats till at last, losing all control of herself, Mrs. Blobbs, who bad been doing the week's washing, "let fly." What happened was next told In the police court. Blobbs answering to the summons of Dobbs, whose face is "partially closed for repairs." "And what have you to say as to this assault, Mrs. Blobbs?" asked the magistrate. "Please, yer washlp, I was doin' the washin', an' simply hit her over the face with a pillow-case." "What! A pillow-case inflict that damage? Two black eyes and a frac tured nose?" guspea me magistrate. "Well?er?yer waship, If I must say, there was half a brick inside it somebody left there."?London Opinion. Misunderstood.?In the fall there was presented at a New York theatre a historical drama by a new dramatist ?a play so bad that even the critics didn't have the heart next morning to tell the whole truth about it. At the end of the third act, when the suffering spectators were writhing in their seats a stout man sitting well down in front began to utter loud cries. A number of kindly disposed persons took up the chorus and in another minute the misguided play-wright had responded to what he thought was a curtain call and was standing before the footlights bowing his appreciation and mumbling x inarticulate words of thanks. When the author had withdrawn himself, the stout man's companion turned upon him angrily. "What in the world did you mean," demanded the friend?"yelling for author! author! like that?" "I wasn't yelling for him," answered the fat man with much Indignation. "I was yelling for ether."?Saturday Evening Post TkAunhtful_A vounr mill hand, having lost his sweetheart, through his own hot-headed folly, first threatened to commit suicide, and then became vulgarly Insistent in his demands for the return of the presents he had given her, says the Manchester Guardian. "What good will they be to you if you're goin* to drown yourself in t* mill pond?" she scoffed. Never you mind, I want them back," he said evasively. "Very well, I'll see that you have them," the girl reluctantly agreed. But five days passed, and the you'-g man still bemoaned the loss of the forfeited trinkets. Once more he requested their return. "Oh, lad, I wish you'd stop worryin' me," sighed the girl, anxious by now for a reconciliation. "I've given t' presents up long since. They're waiting for you at t' bottom o't' mill pond, tied up in a red handkerchief; you can't miss but see 'em when you Jump in." Trapping a Lawyer.?In some cases counsel receive answers to questions that they had no business to put, which If not quite to their liking, are what they Justly deserve. The following story of George Clarke, a celebrated negro minstrel, is a case in point. On one occasion, when being examined as a witness, he was severely interrogated by a lawyer. "You are in the minstrel business, I believe?" inquired the lawyer. "Yes, sir," replied the minstrel. "Is not that rather a low calling?" "I don't know but what it is, sir," replied the minstrel, "but it is so much better than my father's that I am rather proud of it." The lawyer fell into the trap. "What was your father's calling?" he inquired. "He was a lawyer," replied Clarke, a trtno that aent the whole court into a roar of laughter as the discomfited lawyer sat down.?Weekly Telegraph. Rivarol's Wit.?Antoine Rivarol, the French epigrammatist of the eight teenth century, was so brilliant that something good was expected of him every minute. Once when he had been invited to dinner, at which the hostess especially wished him to shine, he sat quite silent. The attitude of disappointed expectancy in the company nettled him, and at last Rivarol made a stupid remark. Everybody uttered an exclamation. "There," said Rivarol, "I cannot say a stupid thing without every one's cry. ing, 'Thief!'" At a dinner in the house of some Germans he made a joke. His hosts put their heads together inquiringly. Rivarol said to his neighbor, a Frenchman: "Look at the Germans pooling their wits to understand a joke." Won a Grim Smile.?A certain European regiment stationed in northern India has a colonel who has only once been seen to laugh. A private of this corps, while a prisoner in the guard room for a military offense, bet the sergeant of the guard 5 rupees that he would make the commanding officer laugh when he was tanen Deiore nun. In due course, after reading the charge, the colonel asked the prisoner: "Have you anything to say?" . "I won't say anything more about it, sir, if you won't," was the unexpected reply. The grim-face relaxed, but the stern decision came all the same: "Fourteen days confined to barracks."?London Answers. What Could He Do??The teacher . was reading the history of England to some of the little pupils. When she came to the statement that Henry I never laughed after the death of his son. she noticed one of the little girls had raised her hand and seemed very desirous of attracting her attention. "Well, Amy." said the teacher, what is it?" "Please, ma'am," said little Amy, "what did Henry I do when he was tickled?"?Harper's Bazar. Street Music.?The late Sir Frederick Gore-Ouseley, professor of music at Oxford, was once going to call on a friend in London, and asked a fellowmusician the number of the house in which he lived in a certain street. "1 don't know his number," answered the other, "but the note of his door-scraper is C-sharp."

Glad, But Sorry.?A little girl, with exquisitely long golden curls and quite an angelic appearance in general, came in from an afternoon walk with her nurse, and said to her mother: "Oh mamma, a strange woman in the street said to me: 'My, but ain't you got beautiful hair!'" The mother smiled, for the compliment was well merited, but she gasped as the child innocently continued her account: "I said to her: 'I am very glad to have you like my hair, but I am sorry to hear you use the word ain't!'"?Ex.

On the day appointed one moth- cj er appeared. The meeting resolved itselt into an association of two members, the mother as president and the a teacher as secretary.

After four entertainments at the school, nearly |100 was c< in the S. I. A. treasury and" everybody w wanted to know how the school would be Improved, and when the helping p' hand would be used. fc The interior of the school was transformed by the addition of needed equipment and decorations. The fioor was painted, the walls were treated to a tinting of soft green, the w window panes were replaced and eight a] of the best window shades were purchased. On these, the children were taught to stencil borders emblematic aI of Washington's birthday, Thanksgiv- ai ing and Cnristmas, etc. fr A soap club \vas formed from which . maps and charts were secured. A n< teacher's desk, blackboards, copies of s\ good pictures and reference books be- a came the added property of the tj. school. A bench was placed in the rear of the room and on this was ta placed a chest containing the "first aid to the injured." The wash-bowl, th pitcher and soap were in evidence, .. also at this Juncture the school directors decided the grounds must be Pi drained, the pine stumps removed, the ye walks and outhouses fenced. tj. All this created talk. The people . who lived in the attractive county Ul seat, seven miles away, were interest- d{ ed. A lumber dealer decided the work of the children was so merito- r rious that he gave a handsome flag to the school. This gentleman also offered a flag and flag staff to any S. I. Ej A. in the county. th After all the above work was accomplished, the spirit to beautify was awakened to still greater efforts. The 1* teacher went to the county treasurer, sr acquainted herself with regard to the aj funds of the district and reported that .. there was remaining enough to meet ai her salary for a month longer term of ta school than contracted and still $40 m over, and she advised the painting of hJ the house with this. The house was painted. The girls ln planted flowers. All the garbage and rubbJsh was collected by the small ci children. Within and without the school was made attractive. With the p flag flying to the breezes, this school w is a standing evidence of co-operation, in through the School Improvement as- flj sociatlon In a rural community. dj Yorkville, S.

"The idea of using incendiary vessels for the destruction of a hostile fleet T*'as of great antiquity. They are said to have been employed at the siege of Tyre in 333 B. C. and again by the Rhodians about a century and a half later. By the English, however, they were first used in 1370, and two cen- 1 turies later had come to be looked upon as a legitimate naval weapon, their attacks being regarded and dreaded in much the same way as are | those of the torpedo craft and submarines at the present time. The explosion vessels, of "infernals," l invented by the Italian engineer Giani- i belli, were the most formidable. The designer procured two vessels of about 80 tons each and laid along their bottom a foundation of brickwork. Upon ] this he erected a marble chamber with five-loft walls containing 300 tons of gunpowder, while on the top of this j chamber was a six-foot layer of gravestones placed edgewise. A marble roof rose over these, and upon it was piled a quantity of round shot, chain shot, , millstones, blocks of stone, iron shod beams and anything heavy which would cause the explosion to take a lateral effect. The effect of this floating volcano was appalling, for the masses of stone and shot, disintegrated and flung skyward by the explosion, fell and destroyed all vessels, buildings or men in the vicinity. Three years later the Spanish arma- I da before Calais was attacked by fire- ' ships prepared by the English. Eight *~ vessels were selected, and so great was 5 the haste that not even their guns or 1 stores were removd. They were ignited and launched, and, with the wind g and tide in their favor, advanced A straight for the centre of the anchor- | ed armada. Ship fouled ship, and the C cries of terror and the crash of falling 4 spars, and, though the Spaniards final- A ly succeeded in getting to sea the | fireship attack completely disorganized f and demoralized them, and helped j largely to make the eventual Battle of a Gravellness the success it was. k The most recent, and at the same # time one of the most interesting fire- Jj ship exploits which ever took place, was 3 that carried out against the French C fleet in Basque Roads in 1809 by Lord 1 Cochrane. His explosion vessel, in- V tended to destroy the boom behind which lay the French fleet, was a tru- A 1 ly awful contrivance. Cochrane pilot- I ed the vessel and lit the train at the V last moment, and on the evidence of a French captain, whose ship was close A by, it did its work well, for the air was 1 : filed with shells, grenades and blazing debris, while the explosion tore a huge f rent in the boom. gftiscfUattfous grading. th< FUMIGATION IN BIBLE TIMES srei loses Understood The Secret of Kill- gu ing Deadly Disease Germs. ha< Moses knew the secret of killing the erms In the air.
